Dr. Anthony Fauci turned 81 years old on Christmas Eve. But he still isn’t retired.
When he does decide to retire, Forbes reported that he will “reap the largest federal retirement package in U.S. history.”
Forbes auditors at OpenTheBooks.com estimated that Fauci’s annual retirement income would exceed $350,000.
“Thereafter, his pension and benefits would continue to increase through annual cost-of-living adjustments,” Forbes reported.
Fauci has spent 55 years as a federal employee. He has served as an adviser to multiple administrations, and since 1984, he has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health.
Besides his large retirement package, Fauci has been the highest-paid federal employee for at least the past few years, Forbes reported.
In 2019, he earned $417,608. In 2020, he made $434,312.
His earnings for 2021 have yet to be released, but Forbes reported that it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit last month to receive all financial disclosures, and a federal judge is requiring that the disclosures be produced starting on Feb. 1, 2022.
